This is a very simple extension but an invaluable tool to quickly ascertain the quality and reputation of news sources being shared on social media platforms like reddit, lemmy, bluesky, mastodon, etc. I can't imagine browsing the internet anymore without it.

Is nothing like the original MBFC app that used to be really useful. All this one did was slow down Firefox, and cause it to crash. I know this because Firefox was telling me so with a unclickable blinking annoying "MBFC is slowing down Firefox".
So it's gone.
